When Gao Zheng helped the Chinese team expand the lead from 2:1 to 3:1, the news quickly spread to the Azadi Stadium, and the assistant coach of Syria wanted to tell the news to the head coach Hakim.

But it was stopped by Hakim roughly: "I don't want to listen to the news over there! We are still behind now, even if we scored ten goals over there, what does it matter to us?!"

The assistant coach felt a little wronged - when he told him the news of Wu Lei's goal, he didn't react so much...

But Hakim was right.

So far, Syria is still 1:2 behind Iran. What is the relationship between the Chinese team and Qatar, and what does it have to do with us?

If we can't win this game, even if the Chinese team loses, can we qualify for the play-offs?

So the key is to win on your own side.

only……

The assistant coach raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost 80 minutes into the game, and Syria was still 1:2 behind. Even if they reversed and won, how many goals would they score in the remaining ten minutes?

Only by scoring two goals can they reverse and win, and they will only have one goal difference at 3:2.

And what about the Chinese team?

Now they already have two goal difference!

So what if Syria wins by then?

At that time, Syria will have a total goal difference, and the Chinese team will have a total goal difference of four...

Even if the points are the same, the Chinese team won the goal difference!

Talk about defeating Iran by a big score... Now it seems that it is doomed to be impossible.

He suddenly felt a little pitiful for the Syrian players on the field. They still don't know what happened in another stadium.

Otherwise, they may not have the motivation to finish the next game.

Maybe that's why Hakeem didn't want to know what happened over there?

Because he, the head coach, is also afraid of losing motivation...

Qatar, which fell behind by two goals, basically lost its fighting spirit, and the Chinese team's offensive rhythm also slowed down significantly.

There are still ten minutes left in the game, but many Chinese fans have already begun to think about whether the Chinese team's opponent in the playoffs will be Australia or Saudi Arabia.

Before the final round of the top 12, Saudi Arabia and Australia had a tie of 16 points, Saudi Arabia had a goal difference of six and Australia had a goal difference of five.

If they all win in the last round, they will have a tie of 19 points, and the difference in goal difference is so effective that there is a lot of room for imagination. However, from the point of view of the match, Australia may have an advantage, because they played against Thailand at home in the last game, and Saudi Arabia played Japan at home. Although Japan has already qualified ahead of schedule, it will not be defeated by Saudi Arabia in the away game, that would be an accident.

Therefore, Australia may overwhelm Saudi Arabia with a goal difference advantage, get second in the group, and directly advance to the World Cup finals.

The Chinese team's opponent in the playoffs will be Saudi Arabia.

In comparison,

Chinese fans also hope that the Chinese team will play against Saudi Arabia, after all, they are familiar old opponents.

The bodies of the Australian players are too strong, and the Chinese team struggled a bit.

In fact, whether it is Australia or Saudi Arabia, this play-off is not easy to play.

But at least the Chinese team still has the qualifications to fight for their dreams, which is better than dying directly in the top twelve.

And...with Gao Zheng's state, maybe we'll break out in the playoffs?

Always look on the bright side of everything.

The carnival of fans, jokers and marketing accounts has already started on the Internet.

At this moment, although they have not really entered the World Cup finals, many people feel as if the Chinese team has already qualified.

The carnival spirit reminded some old fans of that night sixteen years ago.

Coincidentally, the difference between the two is sixteen years and one month.

And those young fans who only started to pay attention to football and Chinese football in the 2002 World Cup realized for the first time the achievement of liking Chinese football for so many years. The scenes in the "Qualification Day" documentary that year seemed to them to be something that happened in the last century, even though it was 2001.

After the film sources circulating on the Internet have been repeatedly compressed for an unknown number of times, the resolution of 480 can be called "high-definition". .

The clothes, hairstyles and expressions of the people in the documentary all reveal a strong relic of the last century. Although only sixteen years have passed, it seems that decades have passed since today's Chinese society.

Now they can finally put themselves in the scene of such a documentary.

I just hope that future generations don't need to look for the joy and pride from the heart like them in documentaries.

Just when everyone thought that the Chinese team would beat Qatar 3:1 and get third in the group, the Chinese team scored in the 89th minute.

After Gao Zheng received Wu Lei's breakthrough cross in front of the goal, he stretched out his foot before the defender and shoveled the football into the goal.

"4:1!!! Oh oh oh oh! Although this goal is just icing on the cake, Gao Zheng scored a hat-trick in this game! This is his second hat-trick in the top twelve after his comeback After coming back, he has scored 11 goals in the top 12! And he only played five games! If you count the game before the injury, six games, thirteen goals, this efficiency, This number of goals is the highest in the entire top twelve! If he hadn't been injured, maybe our road to the World Cup wouldn't have been so difficult..."

He Ping expressed the feelings of many fans.

If Gao Zheng is not injured, the Chinese team should be competing with Iran for the first place in the group...

But unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

After going through such twists and turns, the Chinese team was able to qualify for the World Cup play-offs, not dead, but still alive, which is already a remarkable result.

Although the game is not over yet, I believe that the result of this game should no longer change.

After the Chinese team beat Qatar 4:1, even if Syria wins against Iran at the last moment, the Chinese team will beat Syria with a goal difference of five goals.

At the same time, how Uzbekistan and South Korea played in the game will not affect the Chinese team's third place in the group. If Uzbekistan wins, Uzbekistan will become second in the group, and South Korea will be fourth in the group due to a goal difference disadvantage; if South Korea wins, South Korea will rank second in the group, and Uzbekistan will directly rank behind the Chinese team because of the disadvantage of points.

With a victory, the Chinese team successfully landed, and Chinese fans can completely ignore other people's faces.

Destiny is in your own hands!

Gao Zheng said before the game that the solution is very simple-do your best to win with a big score, won't it be over?

At that time, some people said that Gao Zheng was just boosting morale.

But when did Gao Zheng speak big words?

People are serious!

After persistent efforts, Syria finally equalized the score in the 92nd minute.

After scoring the goal, the Syrian players ran towards the center circle with their footballs in their arms. Although their hopes were slim, they still had a little bit of fantasy deep in their hearts.

Hurry up, what if we kill Iran at the last moment?

Their head coach, Hakeem, stood with his hands folded over his chest, watching his players run towards the center circle.

His face was indifferent, neither applauding the goal nor cheering for the players who hadn't given up yet.

Although he stood on the sidelines and put on a posture of supervising the battle, in fact his heart was dead.

He is very clear that the Chinese team is now leading Qatar 4:1. No matter what happens in Syria, the top 12 match is over...

Their homeless team tried their best. They drew with Iran and South Korea, defeated Uzbekistan and Qatar at the "home court" thousands of miles away from home, and fought to the end despite being unfavorable. Last minute.

But now, it's all over.

Syria's World Cup cycle ends here.

"The game is over! The game is over! The Chinese team defeated Qatar 4:1 in the away game! In the other two games, Syria scored a goal at the last minute and the Iranian team drew 2:2, and Uzbekistan and the South Korean team failed. The score was stalemate until the end, the score was 0:0! In this way, the Chinese team ranked third with 14 points and qualified for the play-offs!"

He Ping's excited voice rang out on the TV.

In the TV screen, the Chinese team players on the bench rushed onto the pitch, looking at them as if they had already won the right to qualify for the World Cup.

But they can't be blamed for being too excited, after all, they crawled out of a situation where they almost died. I am still alive now, even if I live in a mess, I am proud enough.

Because Uzbekistan, which used to be in a good situation, is now completely dead.

Lippi, the handsome old man, also had a rare smile on his face, hugging his assistants.

"We still don't know whether the Chinese team's opponent in the playoffs will be Saudi Arabia or Australia. Of course, no matter which opponent it is, it will be difficult to play. This is for sure. But in any case, the Chinese team still has hope to go to Russia! And Hope, no matter what time it is, is as precious as gold!"
